🌄 This #InternationalMountainDay we're celebrating the Grampians, a favourite mountain range for many Victorians.⁠ ⁠ Known as Gariwerd to the local Djab Wurrung and Jardwardjali people, Grampians National Park spans 400,000+ acres. So, there's plenty to explore.⁠ ⁠ As one of Victoria's most popular holiday destinations, the rugged mountain ranges and national park are favoured for climbing, camping, picnics, bushwalks & nature study.⁠ ⁠ Home to five striking sandstone ridges, wildflowers and wildlife, the Grampians (Gariwerd) are also home to ancient Aboriginal rock art paintings, evidence of Aboriginal people's long association with Gariwerd.⁠ ⁠ Photographs from the @library_vic collection show just a few of the main attractions:⁠ ⁠ 🌱 Boroka Lookout⁠ 🌱 The Pinnacle⁠ 🌱 Mackenzie Falls⁠ 🌱 Reed Lookout⁠ 🌱 Sundial Peak⁠ 🌱 + more!⁠ ⁠ Enjoy your explorations!⁠ ⁠ 📷 Grampians.
